Meal Prep Monday: Pumpkin Chili

Each and every Sunday for the past 17 weeks, my fiancé and I have been buying, prepping, and preparingmeals for the week ahead. It’s a habit I’d heard a lot about, but never really thought I could embrace. I felt that way for years until I realized, “Hey, adulting is a lot easier when you don’t have to worry about where your next meal is coming from.”

We jumped on the bandwagon in August and never looked back.

I won’t tell you about every little thing I’m eating this week. I tend to eat the same kind of cereal + frozen fruit most mornings, and the same kind of salads for lunch most days.

I will share the big meal of the week that we made for dinner each night: pumpkin chili! Plenty savory, and not as sweet as it sounds.

If you’re not a fan of eating the same thing every night, consider dividing this chili recipe into mason jars or airtight containers that can be frozen for a few weeks.

I adapted this recipe from SnackGirl’s website. Click here for her 6-serving version. Read on for mine, which makes about 8-10 servings.
